Reviews
"If you put a square in a square, you can exhibit too! If you want to bask in kindergarten simplicity of modern art, here's the place. Like i enjoyed going, but that was because i could give a speech about the beauty of the white wall next to the art at a similar depth to the art itself."
"Arnolfini is a great gallery space. They offer an interesting programme of exhibitions. The gallery space is inclusive and accessible to all. They also have a lovely bookshop and a cafe."
"Enjoyable and interesting, the gallery is easy to navigate and curated well so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. A good balance between different art styles including films, and topical themes explored from a range of international artists."
"They are a free Art Gallery accepting donations, and they have a lovely cafe attached. There is also a huge patio they have built where are you can get drinks next to the water. On a popular day When the weather is nice, you should expect a queue."
"Good show sandwiched between two not so much. Paula Rego is a respected ( rightly so) artist and produces well drawn poignant images. So great etchings on show would have liked a paining or two. Her sketchbooks were also lovely .catch it while you can."
